Baker McKenzie provides companies planning to invest in Argentina’s steadily-growing mining sector with a comprehensive, full-service offering that includes coverage of sector-specific regulatory issues, as well as tax, labour, environmental and corporate matters. Transactional work is another priority area, particularly for international investors, which the firm can support through its global parent firm’s international network. Natural resources veteran Adolfo Durañona, who has logged more than 30 years of experience, co-leads the team with Ezequiel Artola, whose practice takes in oil-and-gas, energy, renewables and infrastructure, in addition to mining. At associate level mining-focused senior Tomás Trusso; and Delfina Ferrario, whose practice takes in electricity, mining and banking matters, are the key names. Since publication, Trusso has left the firm - effective as of May 2025.
